This estate exceeded our expectations. We were greeted by Ruben, which was the most welcoming check in we have ever received. We stayed in the renovated barn room which was large & comfortable. The estate is tucked away on a hilltop with beautiful views. It’s been renovated beautifully, but keeping interesting features such as its original doors & tile. The gin library in particular was a special surprise. It’s one of the largest in Europe with over 1,400 types of gin. We looked forward to gin o clock everyday where guests get a drink on the house each day. Lemon & Ricardo were extremely friendly and made us feel right at home. They are very passionate about what they do and every day was an exciting & entertaining experience. Everything at the estate is farm to table. The fruits are grown on site and the pastries are homemade. The breakfast was the best we had on the island and we looked forward to it every morning. I wish I could purchase the home made jams, they were the BEST! The location was a great base, away from the hustle & bustle of ponta del Gada but close enough if you’d like to visit! Everything was just a short ride away from all the other main touristy spots. We would stay here again! Outstanding hospitality!!
